If you are slow roasting them anyway, then boiling them is not necessary. You only boil ribs to make them tender for cooking straight on the grill. Boiling meat is a bad way to cook it though, as it removes flavour from the actual meat into the water.
I'd also add in to remove the membrane from the inside of the ribs ... pain to do but worth the effort. I'm more pulled pork that ribs ...that way you end up with kilo's of the stuff!
