I think the three groups of eight will be league system Cran Cran, with the top and bottom groups carrying their points forward from the first half of the season ( sorry if this is confusing, but it could possibly be the RFL and not me) so the middle group will have to start from scratch, because they come from two different leagues and simply cannot carry their earlier points forward, presumerably, the top four from this middle group will then go into Superleague 1 for the start of the next season. So if that is Bradford, Widnes, London and Wakefield for example, and it is only an example, then effectively there has been no promotion after all that palaver, which is crazy. There could also be issues about whether the home and away games have been organised in a way that's fair to everyone.
Perhaps the RFL can clarify some of the finer details next week. Hopefully is should all become a little clearer by then.
