One comment regarding, "The WH rushed to judgement and signaled TD for A.":
The WH SHOULD have signalled the TD as soon as the LJ or HL signalled that the runner had crossed the goalline. You still signal the result of the play on a TD, even if there are flags on the field. One thing a lot of younger refs (sometimes myself included) forget is to continue officiating even after a flag.
PS - WH may have concluded that since the actions were nearly simultaneous and retaliatory, and neither of the other officials were conclusive as to when the 2nd foul occurred, that both fouls were live-ball fouls - hence the offsetting penalties.
