Shown in a recent video.
Assuming they re-sign Kay, or get somebody similar, I think Reeth and Jook sharing the 5 would be handy.
Of course it could be completely meaningless. He's no doubt at home in Perth whilst Europe remains shutdown, and just looking to stay sharp. Plus his brother is a DP.
Vague is still training with the Cats. He'll probably be retained as a TP.

Firstly, we don't know how good Reath may or may not be in the NBL.
Secondly, I said if they re-signed Kay or similar. Over the past few seasons, Trev has used his big centres for generally around 30~35 minutes combined, and relied upon them more for rebounding and rim-protection.
Assuming Cotton doesn't naturalise in time, we're not going to use an import slot on Plums or another Centre to play 20 minutes a game. In which case Reath looks like a good option.
Lastly, Perth is his home, and he's said publicly before he'd like to play here. Such players are always good pickups if they fit the needs.
No one:
Perth fans: OmG nIC NaT wILL pLaY fOR CaTS ThIS yEAr
Perth fans: It'd be nice to have a player like Duop Reath on the roster
Anons: PERTH IS THE DEVIL
Perth fans: Sydney Melbourne spend more money cry cry cry
Perth Wildcats: spend entire cap on One player

Is it just me, or do people from other states just simply hate Perth?
If so, have those people actually experienced Western Australia to criticize?
Not that. It's eastern state’s get aggravated by the ignorance and arrogance of Perth fans.
Example being the cry about Melbournes spending but fail to acknowledge that Bryce is now the highest paid player in the league.
Or cry about Sydney having four imports, even though one was an injury replacement player, but again fail to acknowledge when they had two imports, earnest Ross, drake U’u and naturalized Shawn Redhage.
It’s just annoying how the fans act they their s**t don’t stink

I'm not going to go into Perth Fans hate...I'll leave that for the experts.
Let's go into what Anon'532 has typed.

And we win, have more money and more fans. Some people (not all) can't seem to handle it.
Other people like the Anon above seem to put complaints like the 4 import issue and MU spending solely on Cats fans even though there were the fans from 7 other team's making the same comments.
It's all good, most Perth fans just laugh it off.
I like how Perth fans are supposedly ignorant, but then the anon above rattles off a lot of shit that shows he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Our shit does stink here in Perth, we just have a good supply of glen 20 to hide it.

How many championships have we won? I've lost track.
Could be
Norton/Martin
Cotton/Buluk
White/Steindl/Travers(DP)
Reath/Wagstaff
Plumlee/Majok
One of the big reasons Perth were successful is Kay's ability to hit the 3 ball.....not sure Reath is capable of that.....also not sure he is a Perth target, potentially just training as he is linked to the club through his brother.

Reath is a Centre, he doesn't need to hit the 3-ball.
Plumlee is unlikely to be back, as we will need to use that import slot on a gun PF.
Sadly White won't be back unless Cotton naturalises.
Notwithstanding all the dominoes that still need to fall, my best guess is we will look something like this:
Norton / Martin / Britt
Cotton / (local) / Travers
Steindl / Lo Buluk
IMPORT PF / Wagstaff
(local) / Majok
For the local 2/3 spot, I guess guys like Dech, Gliddon, and returning college players would be under consideration, maybe even someone like Drmic, or Pozoglou.
For the local centre, could be somebody like Reath or Mathiang, or a local veteran??
D2 why do u even post?
Gliddon is at Phoenix, Drmic brisbane
Buluk is a sg
Reath plays both pf and c

According to the Wildcats website Buluk is a forward and Travers is a guard.

Missed the Gliddon to SEM news, when was that announced?
Buluk was a sf in juniors but still is a slim 6'5, nose a sg.
Travers was a pg at juniors, now 6’7-6’8 sf as he builds his body.
Yeah my comments re: Reath were based on the post suggesting Reath and Plum in the same line-up.
And yes Reath is listed internationally as a PF/C.
I think media mentioning Landale and Motum must be a pipe dream.....both would surely be costed out of the Perth market with the money Cotton is on.
But Perth can pay accordingly so neither Landale nor Motum should be out of reach for the Wildcats. Just ask D2.0

Cotton could be on smaller coin this season and way more for the final two.
Gliddon is at Phoenix, Drmic brisbane
Buluk is a sg
Reath plays both pf and c
2,3,4 all play as wings now and even sides in the nba play the 5 as a wing. All run lanes both ways, offensively and defensively.

I'm guessing 810684 is Dazz and he forgot his name.
