If we get relegated, GH could use it as an excuse to wipe the slate clean. Obviously we should desperately try to retain the really important players like Watkins, Myler, Lolohea, Garbutt who we'd need to have a genuine crack at getting promoted (actually that's a depressingly short list of must haves). But it would give a chance to get rid of the chaff and focus on bringing on youth with anyone else remaining basically playing for a spot.
We shouldn't lose sight of how ordinary the M8s are - we're not ripping up trees because we're playing good sides but because we're terrible. The chances are we'd be up against a similar set of teams next year as well.
Assuming we stay up, surely the message loud and clear is get rid of the fogies, let players who aren't committed leave, and for goodness' sake lets at least try recruit some players who can help make us entertaining to watch.
