Dafuq...the writers just wanted to make a filler episode about Liam's first transformation. Did you not watch the episode? Yes, Scott could have roared Liam into submission. But keep in mind the events that transpired. Scott chains Liam up. Kira and Scott realize Liam is awake and breaking loose. Before Scott can react, Liam breaks loose and jumps through the window. It's not until Scott find Argent that he knows where Liam is. Had it not been for Argent using the sonic emmiters, Scott would have probably found Liam and tried to roar him into submission.

Also, even though Scott had complete control over his shift and roared stronger werewolves into submission before, they weren't on full moons and Scott was still relativly new at being a werewolf in general. When Derek roared at Isaac, he's been a werewolf for multiple years and knew it would work on a full moon. Scott probably doubted if it would work on a full moon.
