Am I took tall to play as a hooker (number 9) in Rugby League?

I'm 16, around 5 foot 9 and weigh over 10 stone. I'd love to play there but I'm not sure if I'm too big. If so, what position do you think I could play based on size. I'm an organiser who can get the team around the field. Thanks.I'm 16, around 5 foot 9 and weigh over 10 stone. I'd love to play there but I'm not sure if I'm too big.

I would say that you cant be to big to play hooker I know people whom are on the heavier side and they do great in that position and it just makes our scrum a little harder to push around

There is no such thing as being too big if you can play effectively then I don't see why you can't continue to play as a hooker.
