Ok I didn't realise we still had 737s, I thought they were all gone. On the airbus we use full stick forward to 60, reducing to half stick to 80 and neutral by 100. This helps keep directional control on the ground by keeping more of the weight on the nose for longer. This works because there is a logic where by steering (achieved by movement of the rudder pedals) blends from nose wheel steering ( no yaw and thus no secondary roll effect) to rudder at around 130 kts I.e fully aerodynamic directional control. It's a different concept. Sorry for my assumption.
