Ex-Rebels coach's departure sums up Australian rugby's terrible track record of losing its own intellect - and looking for the quick fix

Love @SkySportsF1 commentary team. Surprised @simon_lazenbyF1 described #HungarianGP as not very Max. It was completely Max. It's only hard racing when you're dishing it out & in a faster car #GlassJaw
When Andrea Stella told @MBrundleF1 "That's not how you run an F1 team" it felt harsh & wrong. They are both right - it's not how Stella runs a team. Very different conversation & Sunday showed why. @redbullracing could learn something #HungarianGP#F1#Leadership
Super team missing so not obvious that 7 @MelbourneRebels (team @RugbyAU axed owing money to) players, 3 @warratahs. Congratulate & wish all players the best; no respect for or faith in supposedly national org #transparency#Rugby
Probably last @MelbourneRebels match Saturday in Wellington. There for their first game (have match ball) but arr Wellington 3pm & game at 4:30pm. Will try to get there but in case I don't make it thank you & go well #MyTeam#Rugby#HurvReb
Yes I'm tweeting bitterness today but go with me. @RugbyAU did nothing to grow game in Vic - connection to community, national not NSW sport; promotion of club. Success stifled through willful neglect. Whatever criticism warranted in Vic where were you? @MelbourneRebels#Rugby
@MelbourneRebels You have stepped continually above adversity of this year & those whose prefer to see this club fail. You will be missed. Go well in remaining games (plural) #ResilienceMatters#Rugby@RugbyAU
@rugbycomau Forgettable, but to be continued on. @RugbyAUS has & will continue to put NSW ahead of all others at any cost. Bitter today & hoped for better from our leaders, but in no way surprised #Rugby@MelbourneRebels#LeadershipFail
@Micklet4 @MelbourneRebels Absolutely disappointing, but if you were @RugbyAU & wanted the club to succeed you 1 would make sure people could buy tickets & plan to get there; 2 wouldn't sack staff & contract only to last game the week before promising season starts; 3 wouldn't spin info against the club
@MelbourneRebels With what this team & club are dealing with, tickets going on sale ridiculously late & uncertainty re playing careers, kudos to for fronting up. This club has had minimal support to succeed & unique challenges (like COVID) under-reported. Congrats @BrumbiesRugby for win #Rugby
