Bartlett released after only one year of his three year contract! Does Perth have to pay the entire contract out, and if so does it count towards salary cap?
1 year into his 2 year contract.
In saying that I never really understood why the Wildcats gave him a 2 year deal in the first place.
This is actually good news, These things don't happen for no reason. I would expect some new signings very shortly along with a coach

Releasing Bartlett who is a 4 point player means a DP can be contracted at 1 point, a returning college player or the like can sign at 3 points leaving 2 x 10 point positions for imports
If Gleeson is signed Damian Martin will be the next one released. Look at what he did to Homicide who was the GOAT Townsville player.
Roger makes a good point. It looks like they are making room for 2 imports (hopefully Dunigan?) will be a thin bench

Interesting!
Bartlett definitely showed signs he could contribute but those signs were too far between
my question is why change all the players unless u have some idea who is going to be coach
So now we have;
Martin 9
Hire 6
Redhage 10
Knight 10
Muo 3
Wagstaff 8
for a total of 46, 2 imports make 66, Ellis 3. Would leave a spot for backup rookie 1pt.

wonder if any other clubs will grab him?
seemed like good bang for buck for a 4 point player
Would like to see him find a club. He's going to be remembered for his poor grand final but good luck to him

I dont think he is alone in being remembered for having a bad game or two.

Roger and alexkrad summed it up best.
In hindsight I can't believe this wasn't discussed as a possibility given how much sense it makes for Perth.
Never rated him as a player. Not sure what Perth were smoking when they signed him for 2 years. Need a SG who can shoot - Massingale would be a good replacement.

This could be the line up
Martin 9/ Deba George 1
Import 10/ Muo 3
Import 10/ Hire 6
Redhage 10 / Wagstaff 8
Knight 10 / Ellis 3

Crucial points, either:
2x 10pt imports, 1x 3pt college (Ellis), 1x 1pt promotion (Gavin Field)
or
1x 10pt import, three backups between 14 pts
Deba George no thanks think Gavin field, trian ilidas ,Ben purser or another young local would be a better choice imo.

Word on the street is wildcats have their coach.
Martin & bartlett clashed. Martin wanted him dumped.
Crocs going hard for dunnigan.
If we can grab 2 great imports, we are looking good for 28th straight playoff appearance and a championship contender:)

Shit I hope we get Dunigan, or someone like him.

Dunigan would be awesome for us, But a thin bench as mentioned. Also would love to see Cody follow in dads footsteps.
I'd like them to look at Bairstow if he was available. He looks the goods!
Not a bad idea but think he has 1 more college season remaining

Hopefully Bairstow stays for his Senior year.
Given his steady improvements and nice stats from this past season, it is likely that he could really put up a nice stat line next season at New Mexico.

Yeah, Bairstow's a good kid, I think LC said he would surprise people in this Boomers series and he has. Would be a good pick up at 3pts but so close to finishing college he may be tough to get.

KINGS ABOUT TO ANNOUNCE MIKE DUNNINGAN AS THEIR NEW CENTER SOON
"Never rated him as a player. Not sure what Perth were smoking when they signed him for 2 years. Need a SG who can shoot - Massingale would be a good replacement."
yet you rate a below average Import, not sure what you are smoking either
