Trinity boss Daryl Powell revealed post-match that his key man was okay, and that initial scans came back positive.
Scott has now posted on social media the latest update, revealing that he is now out of hopsital.
The centre thanked fans for their messages after the incident, and was greatful to have such professional medical staff attending to him.
Obviously, there is currently no time frame for him to return to the field, but Scott said in his message that the injury “puts things into perspective” as to how dangerous the sport can be.
