This video in slow motion shows the fight in all its glory, taken by a journalist behind the sticks.

Shows that Mcllorum tackle made initial contact with upper forearm of wire player and then bounced into his throat area. I would say its one of those tackles were the player is trying to get away with a cheap shot by making the initial contact as high as legally possible knowing the fore arm will then slide up into the face.

On the subject of the wire player being tackled. He has been criticised by both chris chester and Justin Holbrook for his technique when running into the tackle. He angles the right side of his body into the tackle so he leads with his forearm and right shoulder.
