Gorgoroth Pillager x2
Siege Commander x1
Gorgoroth Officer x1
Gorgoroth Berserker x2
Gorgoroth Garrison x4
Gorgoroth Swarm x1
Mordor Defender x1
Orc Fighter x1
Orc Infantry x1
Gorgoroth Engineer x2
Gorgoroth Sapper x1
Gorgoroth Agitator x2
Gorgoroth Attacker x1
Siege Troop x2
Olog-Hai of Mordor x2
Troll of Gorgoroth, AoS x2
Troll of Udun x1
Troll of Cirith Gorgor x1
Great Hill Troll x1
Troop Tower x2
Great Siege-Towers x1
Teeth of Mordor x2
Tower Walkway x2
Their Marching Companies x1
Desperate Defense of the Ring x1
Din of Arms x1

Suggestions?

The best besieger minions are easily Gorgoroth Assassin and Great Hill Troll, so you should be playing 4 of each of them.

Try something like this:

Gorgoroth Assassin x4
Gorgoroth Soldier x3
Gorgoroth Agitator
Gorgoroth Swarm x2
Siege Troop x2
Great Hill Troll x4
Troll of Gorgoroth, AoS x3
Great Siege-Towers x4
Their Marching Companies x2
Grond, Hammer of the Underworld x2
Tower Walkway x2
Troop Tower
Ithil Stone

That's a nice tight Besieger build that works very well.

Ok, thanks for the suggestion. The only problem is I don't have most of those cards. :( (this deck is real life)

With only 2x Siege Troop and 1 Troop Tower, how do you control sites with this deck?

The goal with that version of the deck isn't to control multiple sites.  You can usually get one by the end with either Siege Troop, Gorgoroth Swarm, site 5 (Crashed Gate) or Troop Tower and then use Troll of Gorgoroth, AoS to stack some stuff (hopefully Great Hill Trolls) which you can play for sure at site 9 with Their Marching Companies.

But, even one site is just extra and not needed.  The strengths of the above version of the deck is in it's ability to strip the opponents cards (via Grond) and get frequent stops so your free peoples can run.

If it is not sites you are after, I would cut 1 Tower Walkway and add an extra Ithil Stone.
