NO MORE BOU HOO

Amir repaying trust put in him as No.9 at Hull

- BY DAVE CRAVEN

AFTER years playing second fiddle, Hull's Amir Bourouh is finally getting the top job - and loving it.

The former Wigan hooker has made the No.9 role his own since switching from Salford.

Everywhere he has played before, he has struggled to do that. But ahead of his first return to Salford today, Bourouh has already made 15 appearances for Hull, all starts and more than the 24-year-old has done in any season previously.

He has missed only one game for John Cartwright's side and and Swinton as well, Bourouh said: "At Wigan, I was probably too young and it wasn't the right time for me. They had Sam Powell as their No.9.
