A decent Super League debut for the team he supported as a boy today.

Ran hard and put his body on the line in defence and played like a player playing for his shirt and keen to impress.

Looks like one of his main attributes is that he's got a good engine on him for a prop.

All in all a solid debut...

Took the ball in hard and fast a solid debut

Put some good shots in today as well.

Impressive display from him. It's a shame his try was disallowed, I'm sure he'd have loved to score on his Super League debut for Rovers. Competition for places is great this year and when have good cover in most areas.

Good, solid display. He never shirked, will be a good squad member

Thought he gave it his all today, great impressive performance for his first team debut for sure!

Impressive debut from a squad member but on current form still behind Vella, Fozzard, Makka and Lovegrove, who continues awesome form in his new position at prop. Reckon his stats in the last three games must be up there with any forward in S.L.

On that performance yesterday i would say Scott played his way into the team for the next few games at the expense of macca. He looked like he could break a tackle and was a very willing runner of the ball and looked good in defence. Overall a very good debut

Would like to have seen a couple of offloads, he regularly took two or three players with him on his drives and a quick slip out would have caused some problems, but all in all a good debut.

Dont think i ever saw an offload from Scott while at Hull, maybe something he should work on, but not every prop has the ability to produce a "good" offload
