Trade Dilemma

So here's where I'm at. I have 5 trades left and want Carrazzo, but I also have another couple of issues.

Team: $178k in the bank, 5 trades

Backs: Delidio, Goddard, Waters, Grimes, Lake, Heppell, Clarke (Shaw, Spurr)
Mids: Swan, Ablett, Watson, Stanton, Boyd, Thompson (Treloar, Gibson)
Rucks: Jacobs, Kreuzer (Redden, Campbell)
Fwds: Franklin, Beams, Sidebottom, Robinson, Dangerfield, Martin, Zorko (D. Smith, Crozier)

My original plan was to trade Clarke to Carrazzo and leave it all be, but Shaw covering Goddard for the next 2 weeks doesn't sound healthy. I'm also over Kreuzer and have been kicking myself for moving on Giles instead of him. I swear I've been waiting for Kreuz to be useful all season, and he seems to get worse. He looks like a lost puppy when he's outside a contest.

Anyway. Before this week happened, I was going to go Clarke to Carrazzo and leave it be with 4 trades and 90k in the bank. Now I'm thinking a bit different.
Do I go Clarke to Carrazzo and something like Goddard to Birchall?? I know it's a bit sideways, but it helps my score now, and I think Birchall will finish a lot better than Goddard.
Goddard to Carrazzo, leave Clarke as D7 and either leave it be, or then trade Kreuzer to anyone (probably Maric)
Clarke to Carrazzo, Kreuzer to McEvoy. Can he keep scoring 100+ for the rest of the year?

This week seemed a lot simplier a couple of days ago!! Any suggestions are most appreciated. Something tells me I'm going to regret any decision in some way or another ;)

TheHanger

D Smith -> J Murdoch
Shaw -> Carrazzo

then hope M Clarke gets a call up and regains form, wait a week and trade Kreuzer to Ryder/Hille/Cox/Mumford

Jigsaw

Clarke to Carrazzo, Kreuzer to McEvoy (Or Mumford maybe). Keep Goddard.

That's what I would do anyway.

Thanks guys.

I don't really know anything about Murdoch and hadn't considered another downgrade for some reason. That's good thinking though. Mind you, I think D Smith makes for good bench cover.
