CHRIS Hill showed just how classy he is in sending a congratulatory message to new Warrington Wolves skipper Jack Hughes.
The pair have shared the captaincy for the past two seasons but it was announced yesterday that Hughes would take the role outright for 2021

England prop Hill has held the captaincy in some form since 2016 - the year Hughes joined The Wire from Wigan Warriors - but he sent a dignified message to his successor on Twitter.
Massive congrats to @JTHughes26 being named captain for this year he’s certainly the man to lead the club forward on and off the field. Always at side of you pal 👊🏼@WarringtonRLFC
