Rovers Unveil Latest Addition

The 23-year-old back is exempt from the Robins’ overseas quota by virtue of his British passport, and has the potential to make an impact with his new club.

"I've seen videos of Andreas and there's definitely something to work with," said Rovers coach Justin Morgan.

Bauer joins from Bartercard Cup side Mount Albert Lions, and was also a member of New Zealand Warriors’ development squad.

Meanwhile, Rovers this week saw the return of Stanley Gene, Gareth Morton, Jon Steel and James Webster to training after each player finished their off-season breaks abroad.
