Sharksworld has heard that Ryan Kankowski has also extended his contract with the Sharks for another 3 years.
This news comes after that of the re-signing of John Smit and JP Pietersen with both having turned down big money offers from the Lions and says a lot about the environment the Sharks have built in Durban.
We look forward for some more “Hoff” magic in the tank for years to come!
This news has been confirmed by 3 separate sources, however none of them being official.

Please let it be so!!!!!! Kanko’s incredible on form.
I hope this is more than just rumour. Great news if it is true.
Awesome!! Anybody read the “Bull” in the Sunday Tribunes front page today?? About how the Sharks are apparently the most racist union and that one of the Black unions want to pull all black players out from the Sharks team, club, all the way to school level. Seems a bit like an opportunist trying to score after ABSA’s remarks and now that the semi is home.
Mocho, we don’t talk about stuff like that here. Let’s leave that sort of thing for the tabloids 🙂
😉 Gotcha
Sweet. Thanks boss
Damn the Lions seem to have offered nobody contracts this year. 🙂
Very happy with that news. He should of got the No8 jersey for the home leg of this year’s Tri-Nations!
He’s no Duane Vermeulen, but he’s not bad. 😉

@KSA Shark © (Comment 7) :

Sharks already have a duane vermeulan type (Alberts or Deysel) so why have two and Kanko balances the loose trio out .What I don,t understand is why Plumtree can,t teach K.Daniels to be a better fetcher wasn,t a plumtree a Josh Kronfield type player
@McLovin (Comment 9) : andries strauss destroyed vermeulen in a tackle!!!! imagine if alberts or deysel ( or both 😯 ) made that hit on vermeulen ?!! ..
@zvision10 (Comment 13) : please do not belittle the talents of alberts and deysel by comparing it as the same as vermeulen`s 😡 😉
Hahaha no I can,t lie Duan might not be my favourite player but his up there with those two just depends on the day whose better and I,m a part time province part time sharks supporters
@McLovin (Comment 9) :
DUDE get better drugs, really. ure sooo off it….lol
Great news.
@bergshark (Comment 14) : Destroyed? 😆 😆 😆
Hope this is true? Any aupdate on this? 😯
😉 take my word on it War1 kanko is staying at the tank
@sharks_lover (Comment 22) : I tried to get confirmation from the player himself and he was having none of it… may I ask where you guys got this from?
@robdylan (Comment 23) : Him himself at the after match function on saturday evening
i also asked him permission to post it on rugby talk
his words after i told him jokingly that he is not allowed to leave , he said it has not gone to press yet but he has signed a new 3 year deal
at the function i handed him his trophy on behalf of the club as i was asked to
he was the teams MOM saturday
as we sat and spoke he assured me he had resigned
so this is not hear say but from him himself
i asked rory also as there is still a rumour out on him , but he was all smiles and evasive lol so there who knows
@sharks_lover (Comment 26) : ok – good enough for me. Good work and thanks
@sharkslover (Comment 25): Your comment contradicts your previous comments. Is kanko staying or not?
@sharks_lover (Comment 25) : re-signed or resigned?
