The Sydney Salary bonus was also along the lines of building up a strong team in Sydney so as to have a team that could bring in a lot of new supporters quickly.

Ugly Igley is right on: The Wildcats actually do have a house they normally use to house imports/others. I think its somewhere in City Beach .. or was back in the mid 00's.

Generally though a lot of the imports /newer places will live together or with the family of one of the other players.

"They may also live in a spare room/house of a club supporter/minder?"

Many, many years ago I lived in Canberra for a short time. When I mentioned my interest in basketball to my landlord, he told me the house next door was owned by Phil Smyth, who at that time was playing for the Cannons. When I moved in my neighbour was Rookie of the Year Lachlan Armfield, when I moved out six months later he had been replaced by the Cannons' new import, Rodney Monroe.

I wouldn't be surprised if the larger clubs owns the property (particularly Jack Bendat) and the club gives the player the use of the property during the season.
