If we do buy him when Opacic is better where will we put him?

Stop asking so many questions mate, geez.
It's just a depth signing, nobody knows who'll be starting in what position next season, that's what pre-season is for.
Exactly.
Although it was only a month ago that he said Payne Haas to South Sydney was a done deal...

THE Broncos do not plan to bring an experienced forward to the club to cover the loss of Corey Parker and Jarrod Wallace.Canberra’s Paul Vaughan is being courted by four NRL clubs as the leading prop who is unsigned for next year, but the Broncos will not join them.
“We have to (develop existing players). We’ve spent a lot of time and money on those blokes,’’ Broncos coach Wayne Bennett said on Thursday.
“We believe given the right opportunity they can fill the void of Wallace leaving (to join Gold Coast) and Parker retiring.
“So I don’t see it, not for 2017, our roster is virtually full.
“For us to get someone in, we’d probably have to lose someone and we feel we have the players we need.’’
The Broncos won’t be chasing Paul Vaughan’s signature. Picture: George SalpigtidisBennett named Tevita Pangai Jr (14 NRL games this year), Jai Arrow (12), Joe Ofahengaue (16), Herman Ese’ese (8) and Joe Boyce (0) among the young forwards who can push through to greater responsibility next year.
“It will take a long time to fill Corey’s position because he was so reliable, but these kids will get their opportunity, like Corey did when he was young,’’ he said.
Brisbane pounced last December when James Roberts became available in the off-season and Dale Copley was released to join the Sydney Roosters.
The Broncos have their end-of-season ball and presentation night at the Brisbane Convention and Entertainment Centre on Friday night.
Tevita Pangai Jr will be one player the Broncos look to step up next season. Picture: GettyFive-eighth Anthony Milford was the leading Broncos vote-getter in the Dally M polling, placing sixth.
Bennett and Broncos high performance director Jeremy Hickmans will be with England’s Four Nations team in coming weeks, but will be away from Brisbane for little if any of the pre-season.
Bennett said Brisbane’s NRL players would not start preseason training until November.
“We finish in the UK, subject to making the final, on November 20,’’ Bennett said.
“So I don’t see it, not for 2017, our roster is virtually full.“For us to get someone in, we’d probably have to lose someone and we feel we have the players we need.’’
