I believe there will be a straight 2 up 2 down, the league champions and the grandfinal winners, but there is a minimum criteria that all championship and super league clubs adhere to, which any promotion team needs to satisfy.

There has been no mention of dual reg, simply put. My assumption is it will still be an option open to clubs, but potentially fewer clubs will be viable options for top clubs.

Hopefully what this will mean is more clubs will take on clubs who are in expansion areas instead.

Much is said at present that the league winners don't get enough recognition.

Under this new system it strikes me that a team could win the 23 game season and the 7 game play off group but then still not be champions by virtue of losing one game in eiher the play off semi final or final.

To me this makes a mockery of the game if after 30 games you are not the best side team particularly if you come top of the group of eight.
