No police action will be taken against Josh Reynolds and Luke Brooks while the Wests Tigers say the pair have nothing to answer for after police searched them for drugs last weekend.

The pair were at a strip club in Sydney's inner west on Saturday night when police sniffer dogs entered for a drug search of the hotel where investigations are still continuing.

Seven News reported on Friday that the pair were searched, however NSW Police have since confirmed to AAP that the 29 and 23-year-old males will not be the subject of any further action.

"At about 12am on Sunday 2nd September, police from Burwood Police Area command attended a hotel on Parramatta Rd Five Dock, as part of a proactive operation targeting licensed premises," NSW Police said in a statement.

"Inquiries continue.

"Two men aged 29 and 23 were in attendance but will not be subject to any police action regarding this operation."

The Tigers' season was ended last week when they lost to South Sydney on the previous Thursday, leaving them ninth on the ladder.

The two playmakers notified Tigers management of the matter earlier this week, and it has since been passed on to the NRL's integrity unit.

"NSW Police searched the entire group at the venue inclusive of Reynolds and Brooks and recorded the events," the Tigers said in a statement.

"Both players remained at the venue once Police left. Neither player has had any further contact with NSW Police since the event.

"The club has contacted the NRL integrity unit regarding the matter to inform them. Wests Tigers will take no further action regarding this matter."

The NRL has also confirmed it is aware of the matter.

Regardless, it comes at the end of a horror week for end-of-season celebrations, as the Bulldogs continue to feel the hurt from their Mad Monday antics.

The club was fined a record $250,000 by the NRL on Thursday after photos of naked and vomiting players were published in the media following their function at a Sydney pub.

Four players were subsequently sanctioned financially by the Bulldogs while two were issued with court attendance notices for wilful and obscene exposure
