Hayne Plane Banned from Race

Organisers of tonight's Fastest Footballer race have made it clear that Jarryd Hayne's Hayne plane is banned from being utilised in the race.

It was decided that the plane simply gave Hayne too much of an unfair advantage.

"It would be ridiculous really." A representative from the event commented. "I mean, imagine being one of the other competitors, slogging it out on foot, and then this bloody idiot soars past overhead. We just can't allow it."

It is understood that the Hayne train is also outlawed, as it poses as a danger to the other runners' safety.

"The train is a different story altogether. Not only is it unfair, but there is a good chance that the train would flatten everyone in it's path. The last thing we want is 7 dead football stars and 1 on trial for murder."

To make things simpler, no machinery will be allowed in the race, and no phenomena rhyming with Hayne will be permitted either, meaning NRL referee Shayne Hayne was ruled out of officiating the event.

"Well there would have been no use getting him to do it anyway, because he would just end up sending the finish to video ref for a thousand replays."

Hayne was disappointed but accepting of the ruling.

"Its disappointing, you know, I would have liked to fire up the plane but I understand. I'll just have to give it a whirl afterwards if I win."

The event will be telecast on OneHD from 8:30 tonight.
