Following the 2016 SBL season, Wroe re-joined the Wildcats as a development player for the 2016–17 NBL season.
He was active for the Wildcats first three games of the season, but then deactivated for the team's next two.
With injuries to point guards Damian Martin and Jarrod Kenny, Wroe was tasked with stepping up to cover the team's guard losses heading into Round 4.
He made his season debut for the Wildcats on 28 October against the Illawarra Hawks in Wollongong.
In 29 minutes as a starter, he recorded two points, two rebounds and one assist in an 81–76 loss.
Martin returned to action for the Wildcats' following game against the Adelaide 36ers in Perth on 5 November, but sustained another injury mid-game, which led to Wroe playing extended minutes off the bench.
In 22 minutes, Wroe recorded five points, five rebounds, four assists and one steal in a 106–103 win.
He started for the Wildcats in their next game against the New Zealand Breakers on 13 November, but was struck to the head during the 87–86 overtime loss and was unable to train the following week because of concussion.
As a result, he was ruled out of the Wildcats' 17 November game against the Sydney Kings.
Upon returning from the concussion on 27 November, Wroe continued to play decent minutes while backing up Kenny.
He returned to a development player role in January following Martin's comeback.
Due to the heavy minutes that he played prior to the concussion, Wroe was deemed a restricted player for the 2017 SBL season.
However, following an appeal from the Stirling Senators, his restricted player status was lifted on 31 January 2017—the SBL Commission deemed that the five games he did not play in at the start of the season should be included when calculating his minutes-per-game average i.e. five games with zero minutes.
The Wildcats finished the regular season in third place with a 15–13 record, and played the second-seeded Cairns Taipans in the semi-finals, a series the Wildcats won 2–0, with Wroe earning game time in Game 1.
With the win, the Wildcats moved on to the NBL Grand Final, where they defeated the Illawarra Hawks 3–0 in the best-of-five series.
The Wildcats claimed their eight NBL title, while Wroe became an NBL champion for the second consecutive year.
Wroe saw game time in Game 3 of the series, once again playing out the contest (the final 23 seconds) to finish on the court as the Wildcats claimed championship victory.
He appeared in 16 of the team's 33 games in 2016–17, averaging 1.2 points and 1.1 rebounds in 9.3 minutes per game.
