The manager of imprisoned Richmond player Sydney Stack says the Tigers have been privately supporting the troubled West Australian defender as he faces the prospect of seeing in the new year behind bars.
Stack, 20, is serving a 14-day quarantine period in an isolation cell at Perth’s Hakea Prison over an alleged quarantine breach.

His agent, former West Coast and Brisbane Bears player Paul Peos, said the Tigers had been supportive of Stack despite the player himself acknowledging that his career hung in the balance.
“Can’t say much at this point, but I can say Richmond have been providing considerable behind the scenes support for Syd’s welfare,” Peos said on Tuesday.
