Golden Points – NRL Round 7
Round 7 Preview Fri: South Sydney Rabbitohs v Canterbury Bulldogs at ANZ Stadium: The traditional Good Friday clash retains its blockbuster billing, with 2013 disappointments Canterbury sitting in second spot and slow-starting heavyweights Souths returning to form with two convincing wins against handy opposition.
