A player-driven cultural overhaul has Brisbane recruit Kurt Capewell drawing comparisons to former club Penrith as the Broncos eye a shock entry into the NRL's top four. Brisbane trailed a below-strength Canterbury 16-4 in the second half a month ago, a 20-minute flurry of points snatching a victory that halted a four-game losing run. Defeats of top-eight sides Cronulla, South Sydney and then Manly - 38-0 on Friday night - have followed. "We addressed some of the stuff off the field around our culture; it's starting to show on the field, all the effort stuff and and we're working so hard for each other," Capewell told "All our middles, some of the efforts they put in tonight and our defence, which starts in the middle, was outstanding." "You can talk about things and try, but the actual change has got to come from within," he said. "We're definitely building towards that; similar squad with a lot of young talent and we're definitely going in the right direction," Capewell said. "That's our first 80-minute performance, where we were dominant from start to finish. It's good to get there, now we just have to do it every week, which is the hard part."
