Kurt Capewell, the seasoned footy veteran from across the ditch, is making waves as he gears up to step into the shoes of his former Brisbane Broncos mate Selwyn Cobbo in the upcoming Origin II match.
While Capewell may have a few more birthdays under his belt than the speedy Cobbo and might not be breaking any land speed records anytime soon, he's ready to take on the 'Mr Fix It' role for Queensland.
Not only is Capewell a pro in the second-row position, but his versatility to also play centre is proving to be a game-changer for the Warriors.
With Cobbo spending a hefty 73 minutes in the backline in the first game after Reece Walsh's unfortunate injury, Capewell's ability to seamlessly switch positions is a valuable asset for the team.
Having previously showcased his skills as a centre for Queensland, Capewell is keeping his options open for the upcoming match.
After a surprise call-up for Game Two, he's focused on putting in a top-notch performance and isn't getting ahead of himself about retaining the bench utility role in the long run.
Whether he's in the second-row, centre, or any other position on the field, Capewell is ready to tackle whatever comes his way on the footy field.
