Uralla and Walcha confirmed on Thursday they were told the Premier League idea was scrapped.
Both have been given the option to apply to transfer to Group 4 but and play either first grade or reserve grade.
But NSWRL have to approve the transfers which won't be done until their next board meeting at the end of the month.
NSWRL have previously said no changes to any competitions with the Boars a very special exception.
If they choose to apply to transfer and are accepted by NSWRL they might not have home matches and the men's and women's teams might not follow the same draw.
ACM approached Group 4 for confirmation and chairman Ray McCoy responded.
"In the best interests of all parties concerned, Group 4 Rugby League will not be making any further comments on this issue until all processes and procedures have been addressed," he said.
EARLIER:
Question marks still remain around where the Walcha and Uralla rugby league clubs will play in 2020.
At this stage, Walcha and Uralla remain under Group 19's governance after seeking out a transfer to Group 4.
NSW Rugby League and Country Rugby League underwent a merger in late 2019 and one condition was there was to be no competition changes for two years.
Three Group 19 clubs - Walcha, Uralla and the Moree Boars - sought to apply to transfer to Group 4.
Uralla confirmed they handed an application to transfer to the Group 4 competition at the regional committee's Annual General Meeting.
NSWRL was due make the decision as to whether to grant the three clubs' transfers to the neighbouring competition at a board meeting last Friday.
A spokesperson from the organisation revealed to Australian Community Media on Wednesday, the Moree Boars' transfer has been accepted "for the 2020 season only because of special circumstances relating to the situation."
However, after inquiring with NSWRL about Walcha and Uralla's applications, ACM learned "there was no application from Walcha or Uralla before the Board."
Last year, the two clubs confirmed interest in playing in a proposed six-club, two-team - men's and league tag - Premier League structure, put forward by Group 4.
Both clubs were under the impression their fate would be determined at last week's NSWRL board meeting and were surprised to find out their applications had not been forwarded on.
ACM contacted Group 4 chairman Ray McCoy who confirmed he hadn't approached the state's governing body about the proposed new competition but "it will eventually" have to go before the NSWRL board.

"It has only been discussed down here with [regional area manager Scott Bone] Bones and clubs to find out where they are to form a separate competition," McCoy said.
"It has to go through Group 19, Group 4 and Scott Bone first here.
"We are doing our best to have a board meeting next week for Group 4 and we will see if we can provide special circumstances to have them change comps if we can."
Group 4 were planning the new premier league competition based on Walcha and Uralla's inclusion prior to taking it to the NSWRL board.
McCoy said there are four weeks until the next board meeting and they will be planning it in the meantime.
While Group 4's start date isn't until May, Group 19 is due to commence their season on April 4 and 5.
If NSWRL deny their requests to transfer, it would mean Group 19 need to include the clubs in their season draw.
It would leave little more than a month for both Group 19 and the clubs to organise the competition and chairman Terry Carson said "a month out is too late."
"It makes things very difficult," he said.
"It certainly puts a lot of pressure on our clubs, they have got to get volunteers organised, book fields, get liquor licences and what not sorted for game day.
"We just want an answer and want it as soon as possible.
"End of February is getting too late and I think both clubs would agree with that too."
The Group 19 committee admitted they didn't mind Walcha and Uralla departing.
"We were supportive of clubs leaving if that was what they thought was best for their club but it is good to have the clubs in," Carson said.
Walcha president Michael Aspinall said he is "frustrated" by being left in limbo and it is hard to organise their season and prepare teams when they don't know when it is due to start.
