Wigan coach Brian Noble is relishing the prospect of the big games coming over the horizon for the Warriors.

Super League leaders Leeds visit the JJB Stadium tonight and fourth-placed Wigan face plenty of other play-off rivals in the next few weeks.

"It is exciting," Noble told Sky Sports News. "We have got the top three teams to play again and that is good for us.

"The people that are around you - everybody has got something to fight for, haven't they? That is the nature of the competition. It is what everyone wanted when it started way back in 1996 and we are there, thank goodness."

Noble is also backing his own players to raise their game against the world champions tonight.

"Your most competitive people come out for these competitive games," he added. "It is good fun."
