Mike McKennas departure as operations chief at Cricket Australia has led to another exit, with the long-serving head of events, Chris Loftus-Hills, also quitting to help McKenna oversee Perths new stadium.In more than a decade at CA, Loftus-Hills pulled together events at a moments notice, and managed such intricate functions as ticket sales and the back-end production of international matches, among other things.He joins the Perth Stadium team having already worked in collaboration with the Western Australia government and builders to prepare cricket facilities at the stadium, including the drop-in pitches to be used at the multi-purpose venue. It is set to host Perths Ashes Test next summer.I am excited to be joining Mike McKenna and the team that will bring to life the new Perth Stadium and deliverworld-class sport and entertainment events, Loftus-Hills said. My time at Cricket Australia has been a wonderful journey filled with incredible experiences. I would like to thank both Mike McKenna and James Sutherland who have given me such unique opportunities and supported me faultlessly during this time.It has been a pleasure to build programs and develop an outstanding team that delivers events for a sport that I am deeply passionate about and that is so important to so many Australians. I am very fortunate to be able to take with me a decade of special memories. I am very much looking forward to working with all the major sporting codes and other hirers to deliver a premium fan experience in a world-class facility that the people of Perth are going to be immensely proud of.The departure of Loftus-Hills contributes further to a significant drain of talent from the governing body, which in the past 12 months has lost a broad selection of staff from a wide variety of roles at its Jolimont headquarters. These include:Executive general manager (EGM) of business and advisory services EGM of operations Head of HR Head of communications Two womens team communications managers Legal counsel Two managers of schools and junior participation programs Community relations manager Hospitality manager Internal communications manager Big Bash League commercial managerThere are believed to have been a range of difficulties faced by staff beneath senior executive levels for some time, contributing to the high turnover. Roles at crickets governing body have always been in high demand, ensuring a steady flow of fresh candidates eager to take the places of those who walk away.Some issues raised have included a lack of time off in lieu for staff, and cramped working conditions at the Jolimont office, which has served as CAs Melbourne home since 2001, albeit with expansions to its upper floors. One minor concession to staff this season has been an internal memo stating that the wearing of ties in the office is no longer mandatory.A CA spokesperson declined to comment on Loftus-Hills exit.

Mickelson barely made the cut but had the best round of the day with nine birdies and an eagle coupled with two bogeys to sit two shots behind leader Craig Lee of Scotland.

Brisbane veteran Sam Thaiday believes a Kangaroos jumper is still within reach for an out-of-sorts Corey Oates if he can rediscover his NRL mojo before the finals.Oates is Brisbanes leading tryscorer with 12 in 16 games but has been well down on his usual output in recent weeks, seemingly hitting a wall after starting the season as one of the competitions most dangerous players.The 21-year-old was again shaky in possession and lacking poise under the high ball in Thursdays win at St George Illawarra, a shadow of the player who rocketed into the State of Origin arena earlier this year to become one of Queenslands chief strike weapons.Thaiday conceded his teammate is in a rut.He has had a tough couple of weeks, Thaiday told AAP.People still forget how young he is and the success hes had so far has been outstanding, but hes only going to get better.If he gets his head right, the rest will go from there.Weve just got to get him across that white line a few times and hell bbe unstoppable.ddddddddddddIm sure if he can play some great footy over the next four plus weeks, he might even be getting a call-up to play in the (Four Nations) tour at the end of the year.Oates looks set to go face-to-face with one of his competitors for a wing spot in the Australian side, with Parramatta star Semi Radradra tipped to return from injury in Friday nights clash at Suncorp Stadium.The Broncos have three of their next four games at home, and Thaiday senses it the next month is an ideal platform to get their stuttering season back on track.We have played some really good games at home this year, he said.The boys can be a lot more settled in their routines, at home, can go about their business as they would normally.Hopefully we can get a couple more wins on the board and who knows, we could leapfrog a few people on the ladder.
