Quote: The Phantom Horseman "Some of the commentators didn't seem to have done any research on the lower leagues, let alone watched any games. This is partly an unfortunate result of there being no TV coverage of the Championship (or CH1) this season, but in particular Jon Wells' repeated insistence on being negative about Will Sharp during the Championship final was ridiculous and really annoying. Wells is a former team-mate of Sharp from a few years ago, maybe they didn't get on but Wells insisted on talking about how inconsistent he can be, whether his head is in the game etc. Anyone who has followed Championship RL over the last two years knows that Sharp has been one of the most consistent players in the League, with a fantastic attitude, and his try on Sunday leaping to catch the high kick has been replicated many times (including, famously, on the last play of the game in the league leadership decider last year - which was televised). It was insulting to Sharp, especially as for the umpteenth time this season he was Fev's best player - if Wells had done his research he would know he had won Fev's player of the season award - but even more so to Championship rugby league.'"
Sounds like Wells was guilty of lazy journalism at best and having an axe to grind at worst.
