I think those two are entering into the time when they push into #1 pairing. I think Gio/Brodie probably held them back a bit. But call it a 1a 1b if you like. Certainly in the POs Hanifin/Andersson were taking over the top billing.
I also think that Gio is capable of a better season and that there are quite a few guys who can mesh with him.
