Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3579872, member: 8423"] The Brisbane Broncos would like to thank Kurt Capewell for his contribution to the club over the past two years, having granted him a release from the remainder of his contract. Broncos Coach Kev Walters said: "Capes has played an important role for us over the past couple of seasons, both on and off the field as we laid down the foundations to turn things around as a club. “He is a great bloke and a wonderful servant of our game, and he has made a big impact at our club in a short period of time since joining us in 2021. “You won’t find many people who have a bad word to say about Kurt. "On behalf of everyone at the Broncos, I'd like to thank Capes for all his efforts at the club and we wish him well.” [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.broncos.com.au/news/2023/12/07/club-update-kurt-capewell/[/URL] This was coming of course but it feels a bit like when we lost Kevin Campion. As much as he let us down to an extent in the GF, he was a big part of the reason we were there in the first place but can't begrudge him for taking the longer contract on offer. I don't mind any of the contract decisions the club has made, in fact I think all of them are the right call but it does suck to lose so much experienced talent in the one off season now with Herbie, Flegs, Keenan and Capes all goneskis. We are being forced in to it of course because of the salary cap but it sucks when it feels like we've lost in the one off season about the same amount of top end talent as Penrith have in the last four years despite making four consecutive GFs. Over four years, they've lost Kikau, Capes, Leniu, Api, Burton and Crichton. We've made just one GF and now we've lost four regular first graders, three of them current internationals. [/QUOTE]
