Kurt Capewell reveals the moment that convinced him to sign with us.
“The game we played them in Brisbane (Round 6, 2021) was so tight and after that game, I thought ‘they’re not far off here’,” Capewell said. “Once they got (South Sydney playmaker Adam) Reynolds, that was a massive signing as well. I was keen to jump on board.
“Coming home and being around some family is going to be really good for me.
“They’re a great club and definitely on the up.
“They’ve got some amazing young talent so I just want to be a part of it and be a part of the journey they’re about to go on.”
Capewell felt guilt seeing our future captain return to training a month early
“I felt a bit guilty to be honest,” he said. “It felt like I was missing out.
“Pre-season is tough as it is. It’s sort of where you make those friendships and create that bond so I did feel like I was missing out a bit.
“Luckily enough, there’s an army camp coming up so I’m looking forward to it.
“My body will be right for it, I’m just looking forward to the mental challenge.”
Capewell on playing footy with his brothers and the backyard rivalries
“(My brothers) all played footy,” he said.
“I was lucky enough to play footy with Liam, my oldest brother.
“They definitely guided me along the way and there was a fair few backyard brawls.
“We’re all happily brothers, we don’t fight very often but when it comes to footy, we tend to scrap a bit.”
