If both dinosaurs are closely related, weighing more makes you proportionally bulkier. Siats is a Neovenatorid, Sauroniops is a Carcharodontosaurid. Not the same thing even though Neovenatoridae is a lower classification of the carcharodontosauria. But they are probably closely related enough for that. But Animatrocities said it was not so bulky because it was smaller which does not make that much sense. True.

Siats was actually around 11-12 metres long so they were probably similar in size but sauroniops is still bigger since its head is actually similar in size to carcharodontosaurus.

Quiz Time! What's the only genus of lizard that can shoot a jet of slime out of it's tail?

This all really depends more on Sauroniops than Siats. I've been reading the paper on Siats and the scientists studying him seem to have a pretty good idea on the size of the juvenile specimen (30 ft/2.5 metric tons) and projected size for an adult (40 ft/4+ metric tons). Meanwhile, Sauroniops is only known from a single bone, which could come from an animal anywhere between 10 - 13 meters. If the lower number is the case then Sauroniops would definitely be at a disadvantage, while if the maximum is the case then Siats would be at a disadvantage (since carcharodontosaurids are more robust than neovenatorids, so at equal size Sauroniops would out-weigh Siats.) Not a lower classification; neovenatorids and carcharodontosaurids are sister-families within the group Carcharodontosauria. One is not a higher classification level than the other, they're on the same exact level.
Also, they're not good comparisons for each other's weights. Neovenatorids took the extreme lightness path in their evolution (in fact they're probably some of the most airy and lightest of all theropods for their body size, other than birds), while carcharodontosaurids took an evolutionary pathway of increased robustness. The former fact is actually why Siats looks so ridiculously light at its adult mass. Not necessarily. Basal carcharodontosaurids actually have smaller heads for their body size compared to more advanced members. (Primitive members also have longer arms and more gracile skeletons.) Sauroniops shows up as a very basal carcharodontosaurid in most studies, so there is a possibility that it has a smaller head for its body size than more derived carcharodontosaurids.

sauroniops would win imo due to its bulkier build.

Both 12+ metres long. Its close but I can't really deicide because we know almost nothing about these 2 dinosaurs at the momment.

I may have to go with Sauroniops.
