Please say this isn't happening

No but maybe yes

I’ll look back on these three hours where Ratkins nearly became a Ports fondly

Up there with Bryce Gibbs being one of our nominated COVID top-ups in the event too many of the actual list were stricken.

A near miss to rival the plot of Armageddon.

It was fun while it lasted

I was just warming to the idea he would've been great meme material.

When i first read the trade was like oh we're taking on Atkins salary so we dont give our future 1st then saw we're taking him and still giving our future 1st then it confused me how this was going to be good for us? Feel like at that stage we'll just do the deal take in the picks Luko and Richards and move on. Hope we squeeze a little bit more out of it!

Could be the most embarrassing addition to our list since Nathan Lonie

Sack everyone.. absolutely embarrassing

I'm not sure the Atkins deal has fallen through. Feel more like we said no to this deal because of the F1 we were giving up

 

[shewho]

I just don’t get it. Why?

 

[Dazalinko1988]

Thank f*#k for that

The deal will get done eventually and Ratkins will be a Power. It's obviously the picks that are the sticking point

 

[philreich]

I feel almost as relieved about this falling through as I will be when Hinkley gets sacked.

the frigging flaming torches and pitchforks will be more of a sticking point

I will wait until Wednesday to ensure this doesn’t happen.

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Yeah I think this one will happen as part of the Luko deal.

[El_Scorcho]

I assume with Collingwood out of the way we'll go direct and step up our pursuit of Ratkins

See I don’t know, knowing they gave up two firsts for him to not have as much impact as they had hoped to then a couple years later see that he was technically in some ways on our secondary list was somewhat hilarious. Atkins coming to Port would have no redeeming factor imo.
