Simple solution really. If coaches are having problems with players getting banned for tackling techniques, they should watch the match videos & get their players to work on squeaky clean tackling techniques. Even if it saves one penalty or ban it is time well spent. All that matters is stopping a player running & getting the ball out, neither of which are done with the head, so there is no need for high tackles.
problem is, with Ash, its not tackle technique, it does seem like he's making the choice to put the sly digs in, which cull referred to as the lazy choices, the best players don't do that, they make their tackles, they dominate and control, thats how they get the best of the opposition.
Lesser players, take the lazy route of putting sly digs in, high tackles, punches etc, which bites them in the booty, case in point, players like Korkidas, the march bros, anyone that played for huddersfield in 2003. Scott moore, ryan bailey leeds version.
unfortunately Ash does straddle this line.
