I don't think Jiffy's gob was the turning point, that metronomic sod Botica would've kicked it from anywhere anyway.

The referee's have a tough job. They get all calls wrong, for one side or the other. The people I am more concerned about are the MRP. They dissect each game in minute detail. They make a decision who to charge and subsequently make a decision on the offenders penalty. The problem is there is no consistency. Reckless, careless, dangerous are bandied about in their minutes. Whether they forget most people record TV games and can go back and compare I'm not sure. Looking on various boards here you can read that many fans compare tackles in the same game that are the same tackle. However, when you read the minutes one player reads to be one step away from being a total thug, whilst another player is seen to have unfortunate circumstances and nearly taking someone's head off wasn't really his fault.

Yes the refs get one go at it (with the help of the touch judges) & are under much more pressure to give a quick decision whilst the MRP get as many views as they want to get it right. In theory they should get much greater consistency. Years ago they used to have Disciplinary Panels where they had no video evidence ... now that must have been tricky.
