Melbourne NRL pair Jesse Bromwich and Ben Hampton are set to escape suspension despite being cited for a lifting tackle on St George Illawarra's Euan Aitken.

The Storm pair were given a grade one dangerous throw charge by the NRL match review committee for a tackle on the Dragons centre during the St George Illawarra's dour 20-10 win on Saturday night.

However both will escape suspension and will be free to take on Wests Tigers next Sunday if they take early guilty pleas.
