As far as I understand it , the super league clubs want a guaranteed and structured fixture list . This idea gives then a definite 25 game season playing each other twice plus magic weekend. Then they split and the bottom four super league teams play the top four championship teams once . Think that's it
Not quite. As I see it, after the initial phase the middle group will consist of the bottom 4 in SL1 and the top 4 in SL2. Each team in this group will play the other teams once (not sure how they will work out who gets home advantage in each game, probably luck of the draw) and the eventual top 4 in this group will join the remaining 8 of SL1 to make up SL1 for the following season where it all begins again.
Subject to a narrower funding gap I like the sound of this and think it could lead to a far more intense competition across the league as it means that every match has value.
