Can somebody smarter than myself please explain why Manly are not being stripped of points ?

They had breeches over the past 5 years but apparently are currently cap compliant. Really...
And no points taken off? Come on! Something stinks here and it’s not Arnie’s Socks either
Watching greeberg try to explain why manly got no points deducted made me sick to my stomach. He has to go and he has to go now.
But weren't we only over the cap because of TPA arrangements being declared illegal from prior seasons and being added to our 2016 cap total? I recall many saying we were under the cap for 2016, it was only the added stuff that put us over and meant we had to lose players.
The Warriors started their season on minus points when they got done .
they got off fairly lightly I think - and still no word of the investigation into the player managers.....
And player managers??????
Nothing to see there Mutt, you know that.
I thought we were actually under the cap but only over as they added previous years cap breaches .
Doesnt seem like manly have had previous years breaches added
they need to operate 330k or similar under the cap for this and next year
