Jarryd Hayne has described as "false and pathetic" an Australian media report that alleged he had made the San Francisco 49ers' 53-man squad.
The 49ers have until Saturday (Sunday AEST) to name the team, but a Rugby League Week column reported Hayne had already told family and friends he survived the final cut.
"This article is completely false and pathetic," Hayne wrote in a Tweet addressed to family and friends.
"Disgusted that my hard work (and) dedication can lead someone to make up a story to try to grab headlines."
The report came from Rugby League Week's anonymous columnist The Mole and may have been given little credit, but it was picked up by a San Francisco radio station on Tuesday and 49ers head coach Jim Tomsula was asked about it.
Tomsula shot it down.
"I don't know what the rules are in the media in Australia, but you might want to fact check," Tomsula, adding the 53-man team is not set, said.
The report came as Hayne prepared for the 49ers' last pre-season game to be played at the team's 68,500-seat Levi's Stadium against the San Diego Chargers on Thursday (midday Friday AEST).
