Salary and Role Alignment
Red. The positions require three evenings per week in pre-season and three evenings plus game day in-season, with responsibility for athletic-development delivery and monitoring within a professional NRL pathway, yet remuneration is only described as an honorarium. The level of ongoing professional commitment and responsibility appears materially greater than the disclosed remuneration model would normally support.
