Shutting down the "world's best team" is as daunting a challenge as it sounds for Brisbane NRL recruit Kurt Capewell. But the former Penrith premiership star says those examinations were a big reason he joined the battling former powerhouse, who face his former side on Friday. "I'm not scared of a challenge; this club is a great club with so much history," Queensland State of Origin back-rower Capewell said of his decision to head to Red Hill. "You see the athletes here, the players we've got; I was looking forward to the challenge of (getting) them playing their best footy and turning it around. "And they're (Penrith) the world's best team at the moment. "If we want to compete with them we'll have to put it all together." "We didn't read into that too much; it as probably built up a bit and we know what type of culture we've got at this club and what we're trying to drive," he said. "With performances every week we can hold our heads high. "We showed a lot more energy in the smaller detailed areas." "He's a tough, tough player to shut down," he said. "Great kicking game, so you try get in a grind with them, get that back and forth and have them playing out of their own end where they're least dangerous."
