MM doesn't play like Roby tho. Roby is all action in attack and defence which obviously takes it toll. No doubt we would lose something if roby was spelled as Hes worldclass but to prolong his career it has to be done. He's picking up more injuries than ever before the last few years.
Id rather let Roby rest during a game than to lose his for large parts of the season and have him the extra few years we'd gain from resting/spelling him.
