No one at the club is allowed to say anything at all, a rule quite strictly enforced since Friday of last week.

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

| Quote: NickyKiss "Somebody on social media mentioned it being an announcement on another ‘Big One’ game. Scouting about the one in 2016 was the ‘Big One 6’ and then last years was billed as the ‘Big One Week’ but it was the 7th version of it. To announce the ‘Big One 8’ at 8pm on the 8th day of the 8th month in 2018 seems to make some sense.
Massively underwhelming if it is that.'"
Eight in a row!!!

Will it not be 3 announcements ???
1 - John Bateman leaving
2 - Announcement that there will be an announcement
3 - Announcement at 8
Then another announcement to say someone as been sacked for breaking the announcement cap .

The marketing department are between a rock and a hard place with the Big One announcements. They can only make them once the fixtures are known in the S8's so have limited time to sell the game and yet it is quite possible the game will be pretty meaningless with a semi final place already assured. Hard to sell something that does not look that enticing but I think it just makes things worse if they then go on to over hype it. Trying to make out a game is something it is not just looks desperate.
I think the concept of the Big One is a good idea but they would be better off picking a regular season game. They would know the date well in advance and could really market it to companies for corporate hospitality and so on for months not just a few weeks.
Anyway, lets hope your source is wrong and it is the new coach being announced.

| Just seen a 15 second clip about the announcement on Wigan’s Instagram page and it has Ray French’s commentary of Adrian Lam kicking a drop goal in the 2002 Challenge Cup Final playing in the background followed by some commentary of what I presume was his try in the game.
Looks like it’ll be Lam going off that.

I’ve just listened to it on Twitter (I presume it’s the same one). First one is Adrian Lam with Ray French commentating and the second is Shaun Edwards going over for his 250th Wigan try commentary by Eddie Hemmings.

| I heard that Twitter one too but although he got the DG, Lam certainly didn’t get 250 tries and according to good old wiki, Edwards got 226 for Wigan. Very intriguing by the club.

| Whatever it is, it’s got people talking about it and that’s a good thing. They always offset bad news with something good. This better be reaaaaalllllllyyyy good!!

| No you aren't imagining it but it could be the record on the family fun day or whatever it is called.

16304_1526976105.jpg [size=100:2md8k3b3][b:2md8k3b3]'Do you remember when we had that meeting in Orlando? We talked about how we were knocked out the previous year by Leeds. And at the end, I asked you one question. "Do you want to be a semi-final team? Or do you want to do something special?" You all said you wanted to win. But talking is easy – it needed you to believe. It needed you to work hard – harder than you had – and make sacrifices. You did all that. you worked for each other. You stuck together when it was tough. And because of your efforts, you sit here tonight as champions. I'm proud of you. Be proud of yourselves. You've done something special.'

| Whatever it is, I really hope they don't do it as a cringey football style 'breaking news' announcement video

Looks like both are involved then which could be fantastic dependant on the make up of it. I couldn’t really make out the second part of that clip on my phone with it to my ear on the bus home from work
That’ll teach me for leaving my earphones at home.
