Leaves Australia
After the end of the 2007 S14 season it was leaked to the press and Hewat himself that he was not in the reckoning for a Wallaby position and will not be included in the squad. This left Hewat disillusioned and resulted in his decision to consider lucrative offers from oversees.
On 27 Jul 2007 it was confirmed by NSWRU and Hewat that they had worked out a release so he could continue playing rugby over in Europe and demand significantly more than what he earnt in Australia.

Famous quotes containing the words leaves and/or australia:
“Such is oftenest the young man’s introduction to the forest, and the most original part of himself. He goes thither at first as a hunter and fisher, until at last, if he has the seeds of a better life in him, he distinguishes his proper objects, as a poet or naturalist it may be, and leaves the gun and fish-pole behind. The mass of men are still and always young in this respect.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I like Australia less and less. The hateful newness, the democratic conceit, every man a little pope of perfection.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
