He backed this up with 28 points, 16 rebounds, two assists and two steals in a week two loss to Rockingham Flames, before leading the Tigers to their first win as they defeated Cockburn Cougars 102-89.

Dickson was pivotal to the win with 31 points and 11 rebounds, and led the league in total points going into round three.
