Geez some of you guys are harsh, imo, he would make most NRL clubs 17, he was only a injury or two from making the Maroons 17, I hope the replacement player we have is on the cusp of making origin teams.

Even better, he has made a SOO team

But also you're totally not respecting the numbers in that statement, the replacement we have will cost around 300k less per season, money we just don't have to keep Capewell

He was on the cusp due to his versatility and the fact they had minimal other options. He didn't even make the starting 13 here at full strength.

The bench is the best place for many utlity players though. Jack of all trades, master of none ...as the saying goes

Not the type of play you want to get into a bidding war for

Really he is a 17 only at most clubs

Good luck to him

I don't understand how he can be polarising. He's a good squad filler. Way better than the ones we've had in the past.

People are pretty much just saying 'oh well, didn't have the money to keep him, no dire loss'
Doesn't translate to hate. Or otherwise people like Tatus saying gutted he isn't re-signing with us 'on the cheap' and sure, I'd take $150k Capewell on the squad, would have been very nice for us if he waited so long he ran out of options.

He's a useful, versatile bench - good to keep if you can afford him, not a disaster if you can't.

Think only snow is slagging him off and you can do with that opinion as you wish

Agree with both of you.

The only polarising thing about him is his pricetag I think. The lamenting comes from seeing glimpses of how good he could have been... Why he didn't develop into an all round class player is a bit of a mystery

Meh, he's probably on **** all at the Panthers anyway. Who cares what the media says he wants. It's all theatrics.
