Reece Robinson and Beau Falloon are set to miss two games each after the NRL match review committee laid down a series of dangerous throw charges on Monday.

Parramatta winger Robinson was hit with a grade two dangerous throw for a hit on his South Sydney opposite Joel Reddy in the late stages of the Eels' dramatic win on Friday.

If the former Canberra flyer takes the early guilty plea, he will cop a two week ban, if he fights the charge at the NRL judiciary and loses, he will be outed for three matches.

Gold Coast's Falloon, Eels utility Brad Takairangi, Canterbury prop David Klemmer and Manly forwards Dunamis Lui and Jake Trbojevic were all hit with grade one dangerous throw charges emanating from matches over the weekend.

All but Falloon will escape suspension if they take the early guilty plea.

The former Rabbitohs rake faces two weeks on the sideline due to 50 per cent loading (because of a similar offence in the past two seasons) and carry over points.

Falloon only returned to play in the previous round after he and four other players at the club had been stood down after cocaine supply charges.

Wests Tigers centre Chris Lawrence and Canberra hooker Josh Hodgson have been hit with grade one dangerous contact charges at the judiciary.

They can both avoid suspension if they take the early guilty plea, as can Eels forward Darcy Lussick who copped a grade one careless high tackle charge.
