The Red Hill rebuild has taken another huge step forward, with the Broncos believed to have secured the services of Maroons and Panthers star, Kurt Capewell.<\/p>\n
The Penrith forward has long been on Brisbane's hit list, and it's understood Capewell has now verbally agreed to terms for a three-year deal from 2022 onwards.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Although playing in the centres for Queensland, Capewell, who turns 28 next month, has become one of the game's best edge backrowers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Crucially for a young Brisbane side needing experience, the western Queensland raised Capewell has played on some of the biggest stages in the NRL.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On Sunday he'll make his fifth Origin<\/a> appearance for Queensland, securing his spot with a starring role in the Maroons' series win last year. He was also in Penrith's grand final side that lost to the Storm<\/a> last year having romped to the minor premiership.<\/p>\n Capewell started his NRL career with Cronulla in their premiership year of 2016, after catching the eye of Sharks scouts while playing for the Ipswich Jets in the Queensland Cup.<\/p>\n Under Ben and Shane Walker, Capewell helped the Jets to the Intrust premiership before claiming an NRL state championship with Ipswich over the Knights.\u00a0<\/p>\n
