Is jackling a useful skill for a rugby prop?

I know not many props regularly contest at the breakdown but I feel that as a prop I am hard to push off the ball and have a knack for being near the ball at all times.

It doesn't matter what position you play. The ability to slow opposition ball, make a turnover and/or win a penalty is extremely valuable. It can be a real momentum changing act. I play hooker and love to jackal.

All skills are useful for any position. Even jackling.
