Police are appealing against the sanction handed down to Scott Seward after the former Parramatta chief executive escaped without conviction for his role in the Eels salary cap scandal.

Seward dishonestly obtained $221,106.50 from the Parramatta Leagues Club by arranging and authorising false invoices between November 2014 and June 12, 2015. Those fraud offences carry penalties of up to five years in jail, but Seward was given just a two-year good behaviour bond.

The NSW Police Force's Fraud and Cybercrime squad spent more than a year putting together its case against Seward and former football manager Jason Irvine, whose case is set for mention in September. Fairfax Media has been told the case has been officially closed and that no other charges will be laid over the matter.

"The offender's motive was not one of personal gain," Deputy Chief Magistrate Chris O'Brien said when handing down his sentence last month.
