MUNDINE IN AFGHANISTAN

Kabul, Tuesday: Rugby League renegade and walking headline Anthony Mundine has been linked with the Afghanistani Taliban and is believed to be in semi-seclusion in a cave outside of Kabul, with only an AK-47 and several goats for company.

The controversial St.George-Illawarra playmaker, who's exclusion from the Australian team for the Anzac Test provoked mass hysteria throughout Afghanistan, is said to be enjoying his time with the rebels, but believes his time as leader has come.

"I'm the man to lead these rag-tag but fearless bunch of Afghani freedom fighters", he told CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "It's about time Mustapha realised this."

Rebel Leader Mustapha was unavailable for comment but Osama Bin Laden, head  of a world-wide Islamic fundamentalist terror regime, did agree Mundine was stiff not too earn a guernsey in the Anzac Test.

"Mundine was stiff not too earn a guernsey in the Anzac Test" he said.

"What, goat curry again?" Whilst there have been cultural difficulties in Mundine's move to the Afghani freedom fighters, he has been generally accepted by these nomadic warrior people.  Though his constant prattling to be leader is beginning to grate on the nervers of a Russian campaign veteran, or two.
