Default slow roll in a super decathlon

I'm curious to know how others do slow rolls in a Super D. I learned to do
them without rudder. I was told that for a full deflection slow roll, no
rudder is required. To me, they look fine. I draw the lolipop on the
horizon. It just seems odd that they don't require rudder.

Here's how I do them.

1. Establish entry speed, 130 mph.
2. Pitch slightly nose high, neutralize, then full deflection.
3. At 90 degrees, vertical bank, begin slow push.
4. At 270 degrees start stick back.
5. Roll level.
