I'm not attempting to justify anything or even offer an opinion but the "fact" looks to be a case of Tim getting paid $54,000 a year to be a coach/whatever (year round) and some helpful stirrer has come along and divided $54,000 / 18 (Handa Prem games) to arrive at some Daily Mail styled "$3000 per game!!!?!!!" headline

If Tim was actually doing 30-40 hours a week at Eastern Suburbs in some other role (I have no idea if he does or not) then that's not really that much.

That aside, I have in the past been "offered" money for NRFL Div 1. It was absolutely fudge all compared to what some of the other figures quoted, but it was billed as "travel costs". Had a similar situation in central league as well. So I've definitely seen it to varying extents.
