Dogs' Foran has Wolverine powers: Hopoate

Canterbury star Kieran Foran's miraculous healing ability has been described as Wolverine-like after being named to make a possible NRL return this weekend.

Both Foran and Dylan Napa were included in an extended Bulldogs squad to take on Manly on Saturday, despite initially being ruled out until June with ankle injuries.

"He's actually got some Wolverine healing about him I think. He's running on the field," Hopoate said of Foran on Wednesday.
