Ratugolea posted 74 in Port's 25-point loss to Gold Coast in Darwin — clears his 50 BE but that's the only positive. At $343.1k with 114 career games there is zero cash gen story here, and the negative trajectory of -$1,900/week confirms it. He is burning roster equity. Sell now before the price bleeds further — there is no path to value appreciation at 114 games.
