He's now a local. Adelaide are free to sign another import.
Hate you 36ers but you got it done. Congrats.
Cats fans excited about Jones - Bryce says hold my beer.

Congrats Bryce, it's been a journey that has lasted far longer and had far more hurdles than it should've, but pleased for him and the Cotton family.
Wonder how this changes Adelaide's money situation around for this season, he must now be the marquee?

Boomers play WC2027 qualifiers against NZ 28 Nov and 1 Dec, so it could happen soon if Bryce changes his mind about suiting up the Green and Gold.

I never got the impression that he didn't want to suit up in the green & gold, just that the citizenship process was such a monumental debacle that he thought f*** it, it's too hard.
Add him to the squad - now!

His mind on the Boomers may change. He would walk into the Boomers B team, but I am not sure about A team, unless his ability to create his own shot is prized above his defensive liabilities. It might just be that the team needs it enough to warrant his selection.

Per Olgun: "Cotton personally hired Ricky Bustos of WPM Lawyers -- a firm that has expertise in workplace migration law -- to guide his citizenship process. This was a Cotton-hired firm - not an NBL team, the league, or BA - that reached this outcome; noting for the sake of transparency."
WPM have offices in Melbourne and Hobart - surely we could have engaged them from Perth as well? All a bit perplexing as to what was going down in Perth.
Anyways, sad that he couldn't get it done with us but there would be many Cats fans personally happy for Bryce and his family.

I mean he said "nah, I'm all good" when asked about it - but yes, that doesn't mean forever.
He would definitely be named in the WC qualifier games if he made himself available.

Yeah I can't remember exactly when but Bryce was asked by Jo Healy in an interview "if you became a citizen in the near future, would you want to play (for the Boomers" and he basically straight up said no.
That could absolutely change now, just what he last said on the topic.
Adelaide can sign a 3rd import now. Scary. Olgun reporting that they likely will wait to mid-season to assess what (or if) they need in a signing.
I think the moral of the story is congrats to Bryce! The end to an incredibly stupid and frustrating saga, great to see him finally become part of our nation.

Adelaide will defintely sign another import at some stage. Such a luxury. Plus the injury to Gritsci is not as serious as first feared but also more serious than they originally thought. He will be out for a while and I doubt they'd rush him back from that kind of incident so a spot is there.

MaxM, I especially like your last line, "...great to see him finally become part of our nation."
