HAVING made his first-team debut for Warrington Wolves on Friday, Ellis Longstaff is being tipped for big things by a former Wire star.
The 18-year-old came off the bench late on as Steve Price's side beat Hull FC 37-12 at Headingley to record their sixth Super League win in a row.
He may not have played for long, but Longstaff caught the eye of former Wire star Ryan Atkins.
The man who holds the record for the most tries scored at The Halliwell Jones Stadium was impressed with what he saw.
May not have got a lot of minutes tonight but @EllisLongstaff is going to be a star in the future.

He’s from the same mould as @johnbateman1 #pureclass
