A third sign read "Vote 1 Josh Papalii".
Raiders chief executive Don Furner said Like Canberra had not sought permission from the Raiders or from the players.
"I don't know who they are, but I think it's a fairly cheap political stunt using someone else's name without their authority," Mr Furner said. "Why would you do that? Why don't they get on with their own messages."
Like Canberra candidate Tim Bohm said the three signs had been intended to show support for the Raiders after their top performance on the weekend. It was spur of the moment, with the corflutes made and installed on Monday.
"It's just tongue in cheek and we're just showing our support for the Raiders because they've done such a great job," he said. "But if they're unhappy about it we'll take them down for sure, we don't want to offend them ... I'll get someone to take them down straight away."
Like Canberra, formerly the Bullet Train for Canberra party, is standing 10 candidates in the October election – two in each electorate.
