The Canterbury Bulldogs became one of the two top-four teams to exit the 2025 postseason without a win, the other being the Canberra Raiders.

While some have attributed their playoff failure to the arrival of Lachlan Galvin and various roster changes, Billy Slater, the Maroons coach and Melbourne Storm icon, has pointed out a different concern.

"I don't think the Bulldogs have top-end talent," he said on Nine's The Billy Slater Podcast.

The Canterbury Bulldogs were the second top-four side to go out in straight sets in 2025, alongside the Canberra Raiders.

While many have pointed to the arrival of Lachlan Galvin and numerous roster shake-ups as the main contributors behind their failed postseason, Maroons coach and Melbourne Storm legend Billy Slater has identified another issue.

"They don't have Nathan Cleary, Dylan Edwards, Isaah Yeo, all these top-end talent players."

Slater admitted he never believed the Bulldogs had what it took to make it all the way, even during their purple patch of form earlier in the season.
