Greece player their second trial match when they met a fresh and stronger NSW Students Opens side.
With players missing due to injury as well having played a torrid match with New Caledonia earlier on Greece went down 34-0.
The Students went in for a try after six minutes when Jack Hooymans did exceptionally well before sending winger Ziad Maarbani over.
Maarbani crossed for his second try in the 15th minute to make the scoreline 10-0 after a line break from Jeff Everard who combined well with Bill Hopley and Matt Lawson.
The Students went into the interval ahead 18-0 after full-back Daniel Cusack injected himself into the back-line to score under the posts.
Greece almost scored just two minutes into the second term but Arthur Siambis knocked on close to the tryline.
Paul Frazer made them pay for their mistakes when he went over in the 24th minute to give the Students a 24-0 lead.
With the Greeks defence tiring Maarbani set up a try for Jeff Everard and Ryan Wheeler ran the angel to score in the 34th minute.
Just before full-time Siambis tried again to go over the tryline but was held up by desperate defence.
"We weren't interested in the scoreline against the Students. They were fielding their strongest side and we are backing up after 50 minutes of hard football" said Georgallis.
"I would like to thank all the players,trainers and officials for all their efforts. It has been positive and fantastic."
