To be playing 1st XV for Nudgee at 16 is an achievement in itself. Does anyone have any more info on him?
"WITH a blue blood sporting pedigree, no wonder talent scouts are circling Carter Hoy.
The son of Coffs rugby legend Brendan and wife Natalie has won a scholarship with Parramatta Eels.
Ironically, he is attending Nudgee College, the famous rugby nursery that has produced a massive number of Australian Wallabies.
Carter is currently playing for the Nudgee First XV which is a great achievement for a 16-year-old.
In rugby league, he is a Coffs Comets junior and club president Steve Gooley said Parramatta is trying different alternatives to the usual scholarship program.
"In this instance, they have offered Carter a program at a school that is enormously successful at rugby and with one of the best athletic programs in the country," Steve said.
"Carter has also played in Parramatta's SG Ball under-18 side and during the holidays he took part in the apprentice camps.
"Mum Natalie said Carter really misses his mates from Coffs so he regularly gets Comets' gear like polo shirts to wear to training at Nudgee."
Steve says he's already got a program mapped out for the young giant when he finishes his career in about 20 years.
"I'm going to convince Carter to come back to Coffs to captain-coach the Comets.
"In the meantime, it's great to see him succeeding and we all wish him the best."

Looks like a big boy for 16 year old I would offer him a contract now before some else does
If I was Nudgee I would keep quiet about producing Rugby players---nuffies one and all! If Nudgee is a church school it will be legendary in another matter, currently the subject of a national inquiry. Get out of there quick Chris and come to the Eels. You may be only 16 but many on this site would have you in NRL this coming game as would the administration.You could join Kelepy T, Tepi M and B French as the Burnt Out Boys, before reaching your majority.
or do what Robert suggests wait another 10yrs and miss the chance to be a star.
How are the guys you mentioned Burnt out boys? Oh thats right, you can say whatever you like and need no proof.
Just trust Robert.
Oh dear, oh dear! You ask me a question and then give your answer!!! Where did I say anything about waiting 10yrs? You have done so, so you give the answer!
KP, a star in the making at 18. Fell into the clutchors of that supreme coach Ricky Ticky Tarvy had a couple of starts in 1st grade then disappeared into NSW Cup. Came to light again under BA. Got some 1st grade coming off the bench then was injured. Was missing till he showed up in early 2015 and was released to the Cowboys. Had one start coming off the bench. played about 15 minutes. Not seen again in 1st grade. Assume plying his trade in Qld Cup somewhere in the tropics. Burnt Out wounldn`t you say? I could go on but I expect that you would be aware of all this. If not, trust me I am older than you!
Robert, are you confusing KP with KT or are you just confused in general?
Yes, I am mistaken there. I meant KT. I had it right in my reply to Poppa- re Nudgee.
A mistake is a mistake but I don`t think it takes anything away from my thesis that these young people are being damaged by being introduced into 1st grade well before they are ready for it.
I speculate that politics is behind it. It goes like this. The administration, the head coach and the NRL coach are all under pressure because of the relative failure of the 1st grade team. The election has ramped up that pressure.The FB position is the main point of conjecture at this moment. Hence, the call to use B French , the U20`s FB and or centre. French is 18 or 19 depending on which blog you accept. There would be temptation for the administration and coaches to throw an 18 or 19 year old into 1st grade, before his time, hoping for a win that would ease the pressure on them. It is true that if several wins eventuate their positions would be secure such is the nature of the beast we follow.
He's 19, it isn't a matter of which blog you accept but whether you look at his dob on the official website where it says he is born on the 4th of January 1996. He's also never played centre. And it's only fans saying he should be given a shot, I don't know if those members have inside information if he's going to play or not but I think they're saying it because of what they've seen him do on the field and the fact that we're struggling in the fullback position.
And it can't help the current board in any way at the next election, all the voting is done before the next game. And with the experience that we have in the squad there's no reason for us to use French before we think he's ready.
I agree with the last sentence. French was mentioned by 1EE he is usually spruking the party line. If the current board is returned and we lose the next game the pressure will be well and truly on them--to step down! I am fairly certain that I have seen him selected at centre but whether he played in that position I can`t say.
There'll be pressure from supporters who think that the board have something to do with results i.e the "supporters" who marched last year. Firstly it's the players and then the coach then the board. In some rare cases (like '13 with RS) then it is coach ahead of players.
Nope, never been selected at centre. Only fullback and in the halves.
