Middle 8? : Tue Jul 21, 2015 9:06 am  

Please forgive my ignorance, but when this restructuring stuff first came out it seemed like a long way off and I didn't pay attention. Now its here I haven't a clue what it means. Can anyone explain simply in language an idiot like me can understand?
I suppose I'd assumed that the bottom 4 in Superleague and the top 4 in the division below that (sorry, can't remember what it's called) play in a mini-league with 2 points for a win, points difference etc deciding the places as normal. At the end the top 4 go into Superleague 2016, the bottom 4 into the division I can't put a name to. So we'd need to finish in the top 4. But I'm sure it can't be that simple.
Thanks.

Top 3 in Superleague and then a 4v5 playoff for the final Superleague place.

Thank you kindly.
I half expected there to be some complicated formula taking into account the points you'd already amassed during the normal season.

Not sure how it works but I know it was Hudgell's preferred option.

Where and when is the 'final game' being played? Is it as a curtain raiser to the GF or would that make too much sense.

No guarantees that anyone will be relegated or promoted either. Even as poor as Wakefield have performed its like a new start all over again for them and I expect them to be much better , they have to be don't they ? .

SL teams in the middle 8s starting to make some signings, widnes have made an excellent signing today, Wakey have changed some many players and Salford rumoured to make a couple this week.

Also looks like you might be facing Sandow a week on Saturday.
