Nicholson was recruited to the Dedication squad under the brother-brother rule for Willowfest 2008. The recruitment prompted parties in the streets of the Principality of Hutt River, with citizens feeling that such a high profile addition to the team may just be enough to finally bring home that coveted Willowfest crown. It appears that the fans' excitement was justified with Nicholson's batting contributing to Dedication's first place in a Willowfest tournament.
Unfortunately, Nicholson seems to struggle to keep his cool at times, with a propensity to let sledging get under his skin. This was especially on show against the Bendigo Spartans in 2008, with Nicholson leaving the ground literally frothing at the mouth. Nicholson got his revenge, however, when the Spartans eventually turned their sledging on each other, helping Dedication to a win.
