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.
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.
Although playing in the centres for Queensland, Capewell, who turns 28 next month, has become one of the game's best edge backrowers.
Crucially for a young Brisbane side needing experience, the western Queensland raised Capewell has played on some of the biggest stages in the NRL.
On Sunday he'll make his fifth Origin 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 last year having romped to the minor premiership.
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.
Under Ben and Shane Walker, Capewell helped the Jets to the Intrust premiership before claiming an NRL state championship with Ipswich over the Knights.
