I think you need to read it again TBH.
The and his point is that position 7/8 are going to be 3 wins away from a top 4 finish. There will be only 7 games so the chance of it happening and slim to none therefore team in positions 7/8 realistically are going to play 7 dead rubber games, whats the point in that?
A SL team finishing 9-12 will at least have a fresh start on 0 points so every game WILL mean something.

This was always the problem with the way the Super 8's were structured and it's something I mentioned at the time. It would IMHO be/have been better to either have the points for the regular SL season halved or allow teams to keep their +/- PD and nothing else bearing in mind that the teams towards the top get an advantage due to fixtures anyway.
