yes the above interpretation was wrong.. and as I mentioned in my reply the linked image from the Warrington guardian was clearly missing the league position columns 1 to 8.
I'm not a fan of it, it is gimmicky but in essence its easier to explain than the current playoffs.
"the top 8 split away, and play each other again once in a mini league, then after those 7 fixtures the bottom four are out, and 1st plays 4th and 2nd plays 3rd for the grand final spots...... that's actually quite easy to explain to our footballing friends.....!!
my preference would have been a simpler relegation, a first past the post champions and a real world club Challenge - top 3 from each league (our version of the champions League).
