some at 60 knots as the reversers are being stowed
- first, to correct a common error - they do not NEED to be 'stowed' at 60kts and reverse starts to reduce to idle at 60kts. They should be 'stowed' when at taxy speed.

Second, as FFB says - what is the issue? How does the Captain KNOW in advance whether the F/O will
a) Touch down correctly and in the right place
b) apply correct braking for the planned OR NECESSARY exit
c) maintain normal control/centreline

and whether something is going to change that will require input?

Yes - please leave the reversers 'as they are' at hand over. 9 times out of 10 they are stowed at handover and I have to redeploy them.

In my time I got used to a variety of take-overs from just after landing to rudder-fine steering off at a high-speed. Almost all unbriefed. I coped.
