COLUMBIA, Mo. -- The Missouri Tigers were a bit short-handed for the start of preseason camp Thursday after defensive linemen Walter Brady and Harold Brantley were dismissed from the team.Brady, a freshman All-America last season, was kicked off for violating undisclosed team policies. He made nine starts last season and tied for the team lead with seven sacks, plus led Southeastern Conference freshmen with 12 1/2 combined sacks and tackles for loss.Brantley, a senior, was dismissed for failure to live up to academic expectations. He missed all of last season after suffering multiple injuries in an auto accident.Neither players name was listed on the team roster heading into the first workout Thursday.Everybody in our program, I want to have an opportunity to provide them the chance to be successful, Odom said. Im excited about the guys weve got out here today. I wish Harold and Walter nothing but the best. Theyve done a good job in their time at Missouri and I wish them nothing but the best.The defensive line is a team strength, with five others returning with starting experience, including defensive end Charles Harris, who has topped several preseason award watch lists following a breakout sophomore season.New defensive coordinator DeMontie Cross believes the depth of the defensive line will fill the void of the loss of Brady and Brantley.Its hard to replace that kind of talent with one guy, but weve just got to do it by committee, Cross said. Its just an opportunity for those guys to step into a starting role, and were going to let them battle it out and see who comes out on top.Odom also announced Thursday that offensive lineman Nate Crawford is no longer with the team, citing medical reasons.Nate went through a couple of different back procedures...he had made some progress, but to get back and for him, long term, its best that hes medically retired.Crawford, a junior, made eight starts in 2015, making him the most experienced returning lineman.Offensive coordinator Josh Heupel said the team was preparing for this decision.The writing on the wall as the summer came on. Its not something that happened here the first day of training camp. Weve counted on that here, and weve got some good young guys in our program that are going to have to develop quickly to give us the depth that youre obviously going to need in this conference.Additionally, Odom confirmed that defensive lineman Terry Beckner Jr. is in full pads for practice after a torn ACL and MCL cut his freshman season short. He had 8 1/2 tackles-for-loss, three sacks and a fumble recovery in 10 games.Contrary to recent years, no team captains were announced the first day.Were going to do that a little bit different than maybe has been done here, Odom said. I want to see how our leadership continues to develop over the next few weeks. I expect a great team full of leaders.Ryan Glasgow Jersey . -- Brandon Jennings made the most of his first game with the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night. Bobby Hart Jersey .

Its three tries from two games for FCs Fetuli Talanoa, including two in their stunning win over the Catalans in France, while Denny Solomona has the same record for the Tigers so far. Castlefords Denny Solomona was influential against Wakefield Despite a disrupted pre-season due to injury, former Rabbitoh Talanoa has started 2016 with a bang, and as well as his three tries, he was also the top metre-maker in Super League after two rounds. Hes formed an exciting left edge with Carlos Tuimavave, the new centre from the Newcastle Knights; Talanoas power combines well with the skills of Tuimavave.Add Frank Pritchards strong running from the second row into the mix on that side and theres plenty of potential for scoring opportunities down the left flank for Lee Radfords team. Castleford Tigers Solomona But also watch out for Castlefords No 5 Solomona. Hes got an eye for the spectacular and he was at it again against Wakefield, flying past Reece Lyne for another sensational score. That was one of two tries he scored in Castlefords first win of the season and he also crossed in the draw against Hull KR.It will be interesting to see how many chances Solomona gets without injured skipper Michael Shenton playing inside him, but on the evidence of that Wakefield game, Jake Webster is capable of providing him with the ammunition. Talanoa v Solomona 28 Age 22 3 Tries 3 35 Carries 20 7 Clean breaks 6 335 Metres made 272 Two totally different wingers then, but both in fine scoring form so far. Look out for their finishing abilities on Thursday night. Marc Sneyd v Luke GaleTheres an interesting match-up at scrum half as Marc Sneyd comes up against his former Tigers team-mates and also the man who replaced him in Daryl Powells side, Luke Gale. But while Gale lit up Super League in 2015 and forced his way into the England set-up, Sneyd had a slightly slower start in the Black and White. Hull FCs Mark Sneyd He did top the assist chart with 20, but all the talk from the Hull camp is that theres still more to come from Sneyd in 2016, and he certainly dazzled in that win over Catalans with two magical plays highlighting his ability.One kick from dummy half set up Gareth Ellis and there was a neat cut-out pass in the build up to Fetuli Talanoas second try; both perfect examples of what Hull FC need from their half-back if theyre to challenge for trophies.With 12 attacking kicks already this season, nine more than any of his teaammates, Sneyds kicking game will be vital alongside the experience and vision of Leon Pryce at stand-off.dddddddddddd Castelford Tigers Luke Gale Castleford know all about Sneyd though. He did star in their fourth-placed finishing side of 2014 while on loan from Salford, but Luke Gale signed from Bradford to replace him in 2015 and the Tigers fans would tell you they got an upgrade - 27 try assists last season saw Gale force his way into Steve McNamaras England squad and he was unlucky not to win a first cap in the series win over New Zealand.So will he catch the eye of Wayne Bennett in 2016? On the evidence of the two games so far - definitely. Gale has five try assists already, including four against Wakefield, while hes produced 11 attacking kicks. Sneyd v Gale 25 Age 27 1 Assists 5 10 Goals 8 12 Attacking kicks 11 18 Carries 25 Hes the key to Castlefords attacking game and will also captain the side for the rest of the season following Michael Shentons injury. So will Castlefords star man step up on Thursday night? Or will Sneyd play a star turn against his former club?Liam Watts v Andy LynchThere are two big front rows going head-to-head this Thursday, so expect some good collisions between the packs. Key to Hull FCs go-forward is Liam Watts, whos formed a new front row partnership with Scott Taylor, a combination previously across the city at Hull KR. Castleford have the tried and tested combination of Andy Lynch and Grant Millington. Liam Watts is key to Hull FCs go-forward As for Watts, his 2015 form saw him unlucky to miss out on a place in Steve McNamaras England squad. An offloading machine, he threw 66 last season, a massive 30 more than any of his teammates and second only to the Rhinos Adam Cuthbertson in Super League. Watts says hes targeting a place in the 2017 World Cup squad and hell need to up his game again this season.Its been a relatively quiet start to 2016 for him, just one offload so far, sixth on the metres made for FC and 15th on the average gain list. Hes also missed 10 tackles, the most in the Airlie Birds squad, so expect Watts to up his game as Hull FC look to get one over on the Tigers.As for Castleford, they rely on the experience of Andy Lynch. The oldest player in Super League at 36, hes just signed a years contract extension as well. Lynch outshone his teammates in terms of metres made last season, racking up an astonishing 3,589m over the campaign. Watts v Lynch 25 Age 36 24 Carries 16 154 Metres 115 6.42 Average gain 7.19 1 Offloads 1 He also came third on the offloads list with 36. The prop missed the opening round draw against Hull KR following a hand operation in pre-season, but was back fighting fit against Wakefield, forming that formidable front row with partner-in-crime Millington. If the Tigers can keep Lynch fit, then expect the veteran prop to lead the way this season in the pack.For more Super League preview - watch Sky Sports News HQ NOW every Wednesday at 11.30am where one of the Sky Rugby League team will be the guest.
